This time out (October 22, 2021), he is teamed with distinguished South African neuropsychologist Mark Solms, author of The Hidden Spring (2021) - who begins by declaring, in his opening statement, "the source of consciousness in the brain is in fact in the brain stem," not the cerebral cortex, as almost universally assumed. (mindmatters.ai)
The mistake has a very long history, which I won't go into, but it boils down to the view that the seat of consciousness in the brain is the cerebral cortex. (mindmatters.ai)
On the other hand, there are children who are born with absolutely no cerebral cortex, a condition called hydrancephaly , and these kids are conscious. (mindmatters.ai)

Explore the cerebral cortex, the brain's outer layer of gray matter. (khanacademy.org)
The canonical view of how general anesthetics induce loss-of-consciousness (LOC) permitting pain-free surgery posits that anesthetic molecules, distributed throughout the CNS, suppress neural activity globally to levels at which the cerebral cortex can no longer sustain conscious experience. (researchgate.net)
Might pain be experienced in the brainstem rather than in the cerebral cortex? (researchgate.net)
It is nearly axiomatic that pain, among other examples of conscious experience, is an outcome of still-uncertain forms of neural processing that occur in the cerebral cortex, and specifically within thalamo-cortical networks. (researchgate.net)
In clinical use, the entire CNS is exposed to anesthetic molecules with LOC usually attributed to synaptic suppression in the cerebral cortex and immobility and anal. (researchgate.net)
